Whitneys string with Burg -el -Arab later in the Arlington-Washington season. . . . "We never have won one of those big handicaps here," Ben. Jones reflected moodily after announcing that lie is undecided about which of his charges will represent Calumet in the Stars and Stripes. ... Rding back to the loop with William "Palmer House" Ryan, he observed: "I have attended the races all over the world. I find the sport in France especially enjoyable. They are racing six days a week near Paris now, I am told." Ryan, thinks the turf better supervised abroad, recalls with admiration the "control" of a starter whom he saw dispatch a field of 61 horses in an Aintree Grand National, and wishes United States tracks would adopt the Argentine rule of having each horse canter before the stand with colors up 15 or 20 minutes before post time. . . . Del Holman reminds us that Panasine, ancestress of Free for All, was the dam also of Dr. Clark, "The only Broomstick to win 00,000." . . .

Full Stride, Pensives oversize half-brother by Blenheim II. is to debut at Washington soon.. "He has been, slow to learn," trainer Jones said, adding that: "He went three-eighths in :36 the other morning and is gradually shaping up to a race. I like to think he will develop into a good colt." Mention of the sales reminds us that one of our favorite yearling spies pens us a rhapsody on A. B. Hancocks Stimulus Risk filly, consigned to the Keeneland vendues. As the veriest tyro must know, she is a sister to Danger Point and Little Risk and a half-sister to Sky Larking and the 6,000 Pericles. New Yorks fabulously successful turf season moves on Saturday to a renewal of the 0,000 Brooklyn Handicap, an ancient mile and a quarter heritage from the gaslight era. Jack Campbell gave Louie Mayers clever Thumbs Up top weight of 127, but the Californians connections seem to think that an excess of generosity. In any case, he is on the Chicago scene. There still are several "Glamour Horses" in the Brooklyn, however, among them Slide RUle. Apache and Princequillo. All three are reported in a good state of repair. Fifty-thousand dollar handicaps are rather commonplace nowadays, but few also have a prestige and tradition to match the Brooklyns. Ben Lindheimer is ambitious to develop turf course racing and is, accordingly, inducing horsemen to train high class performers for competition on the grass by offering: liberal purses. For instance, there is something very persuasive about the 0,000 added to the Grassland Handicap, of a mile and a furlong, on July 13. Some thoroughbreds seem to have a predilection for racing on the turf. Offhand, there is the mercurial Marriage and the French refugee, Grasshopper II. The latter is training to resume his onslaught on the grass-track records here this summer. Horses usually stay farther on this course than on loam surfaces, which sometimes occasions eruptions of form, but tljese events are a colorful relief from the monotony of eight races on the skinned track.
